According to reports, the former president of +Europa was attended to at her home in the centre of the capital this afternoon and taken by ambulance as a code red emergency to Santo Spirito Hospital

The League leader against the secretary of Forza Italia: “Is the AfD’s victory a problem for him? It’s called democracy.” Awkwardness within FdI. Meloni remains silent. Bignami: “The popular vote must be respected. The two deputy prime ministers? They belong to different political families in Europe.” Vannacci: “The League is inconsistent: two years ago they ousted the AfD, and today Salvini is praising them. I’m increasingly convinced I did the right thing in leaving the party.”

The leader of Italia Viva, speaking at the Ambrosetti Forum, discusses the broad coalition: “We are not part of it; we are part of the centre-left.” On next year’s elections: “It makes sense to hold the election next May.

The Roman councillor takes the field (in a big way): “We’ll be there for the primaries. We’ll set out our programme and manifesto straight away. We want to reclaim the issues that the centre-left has culpably ceded to the right. Starting with security: we need more prisons.” The proposal on nurseries

Six figures to understand what the Meloni government – the longest-serving in the history of the Republic – has and hasn’t done

The director returns to the subject of immigration with Nessun Dolore, in competition at Venice. But the world around him has changed. Vannacci, remigration, a Europe struggling to find solutions: “In every wave of emigration, there was a certain joy.
